Forecasting and Prediction Forecasting entails a procedure of scrutinizing and revealing the future condition of an operation being carried out. Forecasting considers both previous and current information in an attempt to predict future events. Forecasting involves a forward-looking process as well as predetermining future trends and its effects on a firm. Forecasting can be carried out in two ways, quantitative and qualitative. Quantitative forecasting tries matching prior records and data to come up with forecasts. The process applies time series and regression analysis (Kungu, 2018). Qualitative forecasting attempts to make forecasts relying on an expert judgment from individuals with experience. An example of forecasting is meteorology in weather forecasting whereby meteorologists forecast the future weather pattern with regard to the information they collected previously like temperatures and wind speeds. Prediction, on the other hand, refers to statements attempting to point out the possible results as well as subsequent events.  Predicting is actually indicating the events that will occur in the future without necessarily relying on previous information. It is a process entailing in-sample observations. Predictions are often subjective and intuition bias.…

Explain how homeostasis is the maintenance of a dynamic range of environmental qualities rather than holding the internal environment at a set point Homeostasis is the maintenance of a dynamic range of environmental qualities because body fluid levels and temperature are not set at constant. The amount of fluid and temperature keep varying due to various factors in the internal environment. Fluid levels are dynamic and not set in the body as they can either increase or decrease depending on a person’s water intake. Internal temperatures keep on varying though at a range; thus, body temperature is never set to a specific or constant. The body temperature and water levels fluctuate according to the different activities performed.  Morning jog, for example, makes the body warmer thus, the body temperatures are higher, and one may sweat at the same time, and the body water level is reduced. What would be wrong with a set point (say for body temperature) rather than a working range of temperatures? It is wrong to work with a setpoint since the body is never in a…
